Press pack for investors THE PHENIX PROJECT FOR HUMANITY Research and Scientific Analysis of the Potential Presence and Activity of Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life on Earth Copyright - Serge Tinland – January 18, 2007 Since time immortal mankind has looked towards the heavens and has questioned his place in the universe. Looking up at the stars, we have not stopped projecting our unconscious desires; desperately searching for answers to our questions both ancient and modern. Drawn along a path of which we know so little, we have been searching since the dawn of time to resolve the fundamental question of our origin, always profoundly hoping that life isn’t a unique process found only on the planet Earth. This question of the origin of life and especially life other than that which exists on our planet, is the most fundamental question that mankind could ask since the emergence of conscious thought. Our origins, still an unsolved mystery, lead us relentlessly not only to lift our eyes to the stars like an indescribable but necessary calling, but also in the near and evident future to take a new path for mankind; that of first planetary then stellar exploration and colonization,. I have always asked myself these same questions about our origins and the existence or not of life forms other than that which is known on Earth. At this point I am totally ready to propose to audacious, entrepreneurial investors who are far ahead of their time in thinking, a project which is at the same time adventurous and ambitious, and whose sole objective is to answer for once and for all this question of life outside our planet. How? Through an exclusively scientific project focused on the formal definitive search for empirical proof which will allow us to resolve one of the most important enigmas of our century, and of all times, that of the physical reality or not of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) and of the eventual intelligence hidden behind them, earthly or otherwise, and of the reality or not of prehistoric technological artefacts which can or can not be linked to the UFO dossier. Since the “modern” history of the UFO dossier there has been only one official organism in the world that has tried to study in a scientific way since the beginning of its creation the UFO phenomenon to finally allow the beginning of a rational explanation supported by empirical facts. This organism was the GEPAN (Groupe d’Etude des Phénomène Aérospatiaux Non- identifiés [Group for the Study of Non-identified Aerospatial Phenomenon], 1977-1988), which became SEPRA (Service d’Expertise des Phénomènes de Rentrée Atmosphérique [Service of Expertise of Atmospheric Entry Phenomenon], 1988-2004), which in turn recently became GEIPAN (Groupe d’Etude et d’Information sur les Phénomène Aérospatiaux Non-identifiés [Group for the Study and Information on Non- identified Aerospatial Phenomenon], 2005). This French scientific research and study group which was part of CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales, [National Center of Spatial Studies], 1962) came to the following conclusion in 1978: “Among the UFO cases studied, we can find sufficient incontestable, material proof allowing us to conclude that there exists a number of cases concerning flying machines controlled by an intelligence and of whose performance largely surpasses the capabilities of current human technology “. …. Serge Tinland - 2007 - 1 - Taking into account the elements collected from witnesses and from the place of sighting, we can affirm that the observed cases generally involve a material phenomenon. In 60% of the cited cases, the description of the phenomenon corresponds to that of a flying machine of whose origin, mode of transport and/or propulsion are totally outside of our field of knowledge.” Nancy, France, May 26, 1975 Unfortunately following various internal problems (SEPRA) was not able to go any further in its commendable historical efforts. Today its replacement, the GEIPAN, is only a pale copy of SEPRA. Therefore we can no longer seriously expect anything from this organism in order to move forward in the search for scientific truth on this dossier. Other organisms, governmental, military, private or so called Ufology associations, have attempted diverse studies, more or less serious, but absolutely nothing scientific, no irrefutable scientific proof has been brought to light from 60 years of research, study and investigation. This total absence of scientific proof seems incredible in the face of the enormous efforts expended by so many research scientists, independent or not, since 1947 who have tried to approach the truth. It is time today that this changes, definitively, and for this there is one and only one solution : To establish a strictly scientific international research and study project, supported by a human and material means of an amplitude never before seen. The project that takes the responsibility to definitively answer this planetary enigma, and which I present for your discovery, is called : The Phenix Project. CONCEPT OF THE "PHENIX PROJECT" The Phenix Project is based on a completely new research concept SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) non-governmental project which will allow the acquisition of necessary funds for the creation and running, in France or elsewhere, of an International Scientific Research Foundation unique in the world, having for its sole objective the discovery of the exact nature of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects). This Foundation will become the only international, scientific and technical research laboratory on UFOs, employing full-time university researchers acknowledged by his/her peer, in particular : IR (Research Engineer), CR (Research scientist), DR (Director of Research). This will bring to all scientists, engineers, technicians and investigators, all the most modern means to achieve their unique mission: to bring to light, for once and for all, the exact nature of UFOs and to inform the nations worldwide through the intermediary of the United Nations Organization and to all the communication systems at the international level: Internet, press, radio, television. Serge Tinland - 2007 - 2 - It will also be able to provide scientific advice and unique technical knowledge to non-governmental organisms who seek help from the foundation’s field of competence. Creation of this scientific research Foundation, as well as its statutes, from the donations of sponsors, donors, partners will guarantee its independence from national and governmental interests, which is crucial for the continuation of our mission. Once operating smoothly, The Foundation will be based on 30 specialized UMR (Mixed Research Units) departments, headed by several laboratories. To start with, we will use a minimum of 5 - 30 permanent staff consisting of scientists, engineers, technicians, investigators,…, all full-time with long-term contracts, to finally be able to start to succeed in this search for formal proof of the real and physical nature, or not, of UFOs. In fact, if the first question on the real and physical nature of UFOs is proven to be true, the final objective of the Phenix Foundation will be to definitively and scientifically determine if these UFOs are, in their way of moving, related in part to a form of unspecified intelligence. And, if this is the case, is this intelligence directly related to a human, terrestrial activity linked to the military, or related, in part, to the presence of persistent extraterrestrial activity on our planet? Or are these two hypotheses parallel…… There doesn’t exist and has never existed, a grander adventure for mankind than that to succeed in this essential quest for formal proof of the existence or not, of life in the Universe outside of that on Earth. To answer this fundamental question of intelligent life outside of Earth and to definitively resolve the UFO dossier will be to offer to the world one of the biggest scientific and philosophic discoveries of all time. For this reason, the UFO dossier, is the most important scientific dossier that Earth has ever known. Los Angeles in 1942 Serge Tinland - 2007 - 3 - TO WHOM IS THE PHENIX PROJECT ADDRESSED ? This is addressed to any individual, groups of people, business, company or group of companies and businesses, having at the same time the financial means to invest in fundamental research, but additionally having, above all, the spirit of enterprise, the spirit to undertake ventures that are off the beaten path. The world could not take form and will only go towards its destiny with projects of this scale which; even if they seem to go to against the mainstream, hold in their center, an immense potential which today or tomorrow could change the face of the known world. PHASES OF PHENIX PROJECT - Financing and opening of the official international Phenix Project Internet site (24 languages) : June 2007 - Financing and opening of the first phase of the Phenix Foundation : September 2007 - Recruitment of the first team (1- 30 collaborators) : September 2007 - First results expected : March 2008 FINANCIAL NEEDS FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF STUDY AND RESEARCH A) Creation of the Phenix Project site (to communicate to as many people as possible the content and objectives of the Phenix Project), its development, service and media exposure : Financing needs for the creation of the official Phenix Project site in 24 languages (90, 000 words per language) : 268 000€ Professional referencing on the main search engines, with media coverage in the specialized international press and traditional media sources for five years of operation: 732 000€ (146 400€/year), with a total of 1 M€ for five years of existence of the Phenix Project site. - Beyond the first five years, the annual operation of the official Web site of the “Phenix Project” of 24 languages, would be ensured thanks to the interest generated by the additional provision of a budget of 10 M€ ; sum placed (*) with an aim of long-term investment for an undetermined period, the complete operation of the official site of the Phoenix foundation.
